Y SIPHON-BOTTLE COVER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 312,562, dated February 17, 1885.

Application filed December 29, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it maybonoern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES 'I. GROSJEAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Siphon Bottle Covers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention, relates to the application of a cover. or jacket to the upper portion of a siphon-bottle.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a siphon-bottle having a part of the cover removed. Fig. 2 is a front view of the whole cover detached from the siphon-bottle. Fig. 3 is a rear view of such detached cover.

a is the bottle, containing within it the siphon-tube b. c is the lever for operating the siphon mechanism. (1 is the tube through which the mineral water passes from out of siphon-tube b on operating the lever c. All these parts, together with the other mechanism of the siphon'tube, are well known, and need not be here particularly described.

6 is one half of a case or jacket which fits half-way round the upper portion of the bottle, inclosing one half of the tube d and lever c. f is the other half of this case or jacket, which incloses the remainder of the upper portion of the bottle, thereby permitting of openings for the tube (1 and lever c to pass through, and so that the latter element can be readily operated by means of the hand. The member f is hinged to the member 0 of the case atg on the upper part of the portion inclosing the tubed and at h t on those portions inclosing the'upper part of thesiphon mechanism. The member 6 of the case or jacket projects over the top of the siphon mechanism at 9', it being recessed so as to permit the other half, f, of the case to terminate at a point a little above the top of the siphon mechanism. Thelower portion of the case or jacket, when attached to the bottle, rests on the lower part of its neck,to which it is made to conform in shape.

70 k are straps hinged to one member of the case or jacket, such straps being slotted so as to receive abutton pivoted on the other member of the case or jacket so as to securely fasten the parts onto the bottle.

In the drawings, Fig. 3, the lower button, Z, is shown so turned as to lock the lower straps in position. The middle button, I, is shown as having just passed through the slot of the strap 7c in full lines, and in dotted lines as being turned in position so as to lock the strap. The upper button, Z", of the strap, is, placed near the top of the case or jacket, is shown as turned, locking the strap in position.

My invention is not limited to the number of straps or hinges placed on the case or jacket with which to conveniently attach it to or detach it from the neck of the siphon-bottle. The location and arrangement and number of the hinges and strapsmay be varied.

m is a stand in which is placed the siphon bottle when in use on the table.

I claim 1. A siphon-bottle cover inclosing the siphon mechanism, substantially as described.

2. A siphon-bottle cover made in half-sections and inclosing the siphon mechanism, substantially as described.

3. In a siphon-bottle cover, the sections 6 f, connected together by hinges b b, straps c c, and buttons (1 d, substantially as described.
